I started Spring Break the wrong way…or the right way. Two Modelos at one bar and house red wine at another. Ahh, mixing drinks. Guaranteed hangover. Now I am trying to read a textbook while listening to Outkast, with a slight headache. Big plans this week: coffee in a mug every morning (best part), reading,Continue reading “SPRING into it”

Just switching to a bigger airport (preferably a hub) can save you $$$. Look at price estimates on Hopper (app). Same dates. Different outbound location. Choosing to fly out of Chicago instead of Sioux Falls saves me $1400 for the best flight. No joke. Even flying out of Portland on the West Coast (hours away,Continue reading “Travel Tips: Fly Out from a Bigger Airport”

Busy week! Taking a long break from this brief and listening to Twisted by Keith Sweat. Determined to finish this assignment tonight. UPDATE: Tierra de Reyes is still on Hulu! They did not take it off the air last Tuesday. I don’t know why Hulu insists on playing with my heartstrings like this. But wellContinue reading “Trial Briefs, Boxers, or Bare”

My advice was simple but unconventional: Don’t think, “this is how much money I have, where can IContinue reading “Travel Tips: Go Big or Stay Home”

A particular post was getting a lot of attention so I deleted it. It was unprofessional of me to post something like that in such a public place. Edit: I deleted two posts.

Season 2 was filmed in September 2019 and aired in January 2020. The timing was so impeccable because in this episode when Otis (Sex therapist extraordinaire) and Eric (bff) arrive at school for their first day, teenagers are literally running around wearing face masks. Turns out there is an STI outbreak (Chlamydia) going around andContinue reading “Sex Education: Season 2 Ep. 1”

My roomie thinks Edward Chen, the Taiwanese actor is too good looking. She says he looks like a Casanova type. What? Too good looking?! He is the exact right amount. She thinks Jung Hae-in (Korean actor) is great because he looks simple. He’s handsome hell yeah (and my screen lock ;)) but Edward Chen isContinue reading “Is Edward Chen Too Handsome?”

“Every now and then it helps to be a little deaf…That advice has stood me in good stead. Not simply in dealing with my marriage, but in dealing with my colleagues.” — The Notorious RBG I am going to try to be a little deaf and maybe a little blind in school. I won’t beContinue reading “A View”
